Review of C Major and A Minor, learned G Major and E Minor
2/11/11
Played CM and Am from memory, reviewed GM and Em, learned DM and Bm
2/28/11
DM and AM, Bm and F#. Spent a lot of time on F# with the fingerings.
3/3/11
Review day: CM, Am, GM, Em, DM, Bm, AM, F#m
The ones with the different fingerings tie me up (Bm, F#m), but I'm getting more used to them.
3/9/11
Played from memory: CM, Am, GM, Em, DM, Bm, AM, F#m
Learned EM, C#m
It feels good to have scales that I can play from memory, and I'm getting a lot more used to the different fingerings.
3/10/11
same as yesterday, only with BM and G#m as well
3/14/11
Played CM, Am, GM, Em, DM, Bm, AM, then ran out of time.

Played CM, Am, GM, Em, DM, Bm, AM, F#m
(re)learned BM, G#m Warm-up #1
3/21/11
Played CM, Am, GM, Em, DM, Bm, AM, F#m
Learned F#M - weird fingerings!!
3/22/11
Did warm-up video #2 - played up to C#m by memory, played C#m, BM, and C#m with music
My fingers seem to be getting used to the weird fingerings - I find them automatically knowing where to go, even when my brain isn't sure.
Dozen A Day Book 2 Group 5 for warm-up video as well.
3/30/11
Did all scales so far from memory, with lots of repetition on the ones with difficult fingerings to help ingrain them in my memory. I spent time learning the F# Major scale, which is getting better.
4/5/11
CM, Am, GM, Em. I think I'm going to start just reviewing 2 scales and their relative minors per day for warmup (from memory)
Reviewed book 3 group 1 of dozen a day.

FM, Dm
It's bizarre to me that key with so few flats messes me up as much as it does.
5/3/11
I spent most of the block doing audio stuff for pit.
I played through all of my sharp scales.
